Julian Huxley, Uca pugnax and the allometric method.

The allometric method, which often is attributed to Julian Huxley, entails fitting a straight line to logarithmic transformations of the original bivariate data and then back-transforming the resulting equation to form a power function in the arithmetic scale. Development of the technique was strongly influenced by Huxley's own research on growth by the enlarged 'crusher' claw in male fiddler c...

Memories of Hugh E. Huxley (1924–2013)

The field of structural biology lost a giant on July 25, 2013, when Hugh E. Huxley passed away at age 89. At the time of his death, he was professor emeritus of biology at Brandeis University. But for much of his career, he was at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Huxley joined the American Society for Cell Biology in 1982. In...

Remarks on the article of Packard: Julian Huxley, Uca pugnax and the allometric method.

restudied Huxley's measurements of Uca pugnax and presented not only a two-parameter power function but also a three-parameter power function; this three-parameter model 'is better than the two-parameter model for describing the observations'. The two-parameter model has a biological meaning, as explained by Huxley (Huxley, 1924); the three-parameter model has no biological meaning. I have show...

Review of "In the Eye of the Needle: Diary of a Medically Supervised Injecting Centre" by Ingrid van Beek Allen & Unwin 2004

Introduction The association between use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and breast cancer risk remains unclear. Inconsistencies in previously reported findings may be partly due to differences in expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2. We hypothesized that genetic polymorphisms (COX2 .926, COX-2 .5209, and COX-2 .8473) may reduce overall breast cancer risk or risk for subtypes of...
